MARQUETTE, Mich. -A Northern Michigan University colloquium will explore teaching children, adolescents and young adults with autism and related developmental disorders from 5-7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 19, in 105 Jamrich Hall. The event is free and open to the public.

A recruiter from the New England Center for Children will discuss the benefits and challenges of such a career, and what job opportunities are available at the NECC and nationwide. A teaching certification is not a requirement for employment at the NECC and on-site graduate programs are available.

The center is a school for autism located just outside Boston with a focus on education, research and technology.

This presentation is sponsored by the NMU Psychology Department.
